Milk Straining. 613 



strainers^ two of which were muslin. These pictures will afford some 

 idea of the amount of dirt that would have passed into the cheese but 

 for the use of the filter. Of course^ to produce the best results the 

 strainer filter should be used at the farm, to remove the dirt as soon 

 as possible so that the organisms contained in the dirt may not be 

 allowed to remain long enough in the milk to damage it to the 

 extent that would be the case when, for instance, the night's milk is 

 conveyed to the factory next morning. If these filters are used at 

 the farm, whe_y conveyed in separate vessels, and the cans properly 

 cleaned, the milk supply will be immensely cleaner and the product 

 consequently of better fiavour.
